The 6th generation HP LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25 TB BaFe RW Data Cartridge combines high capacity, low cost per GB and AES-256 encryption, reinforced by the HP Brand specification – the industry’s most demanding media quality standard. 70% more recording tracks increase bit density to allow more data to be saved in the same physical space. LTO-6 has the largest storage capacity of any HP tape solution, more than 290% greater than LTO-4. When used in an HP StoreEver LTO-6 Ultrium 6650 tape drive, the media can backup 1.4 TB/hr in compressed mode (2.5:1 ratio).
HP’s LTO media is exhaustively qualified for use with HP and non-HP LTO products. Over 2.6 million hours testing in 2012 guarantees the high levels of quality uniquely specified by HP. IT managers will see a significant improvement in backup and restore functions, alleviating the pressure of managing an ever increasing volume of critical data in an ever decreasing backup window.
- Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology
- HP LTO-6 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 1.4 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments
- A 70% increase in the number of tracks has increase the bit density, allowing more data to be recorded in the same amount of tape: from 1,280 tracks for LTO-5 to 2,176 tracks for 6th generation HP LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25 TB cartridges.
- LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring.
- First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions.
- Ultra-reliable
- Superior 'smart grabber' mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape.
- Simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear and build up of and debris (important in automation).
- HP brand qualification test procedures (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing and environmental stress testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO Ultrium logo. This ensures maximum reliability for restoring your data.
- HP warrants LTO Ultrium cartridges for up to 30 years archival life. This ensures businesses can meet the ever-increasing demands of regulation for data retention and archiving.
- Secure
- Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) version provides tamperproof, compliant data storage.
- Data encryption for enhanced data security on HP LTO-4, LTO-5 and LTO-6 Ultrium. Compliance with FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards.
- Value for money
- Standardizing on HP LTO-5 or LTO-6 Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows, industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1), and interchangeable RW or WORM media; without extra space or IT resource overhead.
- Open standard technology ensures compatibility across product generations and gives you more choice. Cartridges are available as Custom Labeled, Non-Custom Labeled (both Custom and Non Custom include RFID options from LTO-4 onwards) and non-labeled versions.
